  2. Rapid plant movement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_plant_movement

    The record is currently held by the white mulberry tree, with flower movement taking 25 microseconds, as pollen is catapulted from the stamens at velocities in excess of half the speed of sound—near the theoretical physical limits for movements in plants. [3] These rapid plant movements differ from the more common, but much slower "growth ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_history_of...

    The fossil history of flowering plants records the development of flowers and other distinctive structures of the angiosperms, now the dominant group of plants on land.The history is controversial as flowering plants appear in great diversity in the Cretaceous, with scanty and debatable records before that, creating a puzzle for evolutionary biologists that Charles Darwin named an "abominable ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimosa_pudica

    Mimosa pudica (also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, [citation needed] action plant, humble plant, touch-me-not, touch-and-die, or shameplant) [3] [2] is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae. It is often grown for its curiosity value: the sensitive compound leaves quickly fold inward and droop ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_plant_evolution

    This rapid appearance of so many plant groups and growth forms has been called the "Devonian Explosion". The primitive arthropods co-evolved with this diversified terrestrial vegetation structure. The evolving co-dependence of insects and seed-plants that characterizes a recognizably modern world had its genesis in the late Devonian.

  6. Evolutionary history of plants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_history_of_plants

    Land plants evolved from a group of freshwater green algae, perhaps as early as 850 mya, [3] but algae-like plants might have evolved as early as 1 billion years ago. [2] The closest living relatives of land plants are the charophytes, specifically Charales; if modern Charales are similar to the distant ancestors they share with land plants, this means that the land plants evolved from a ...

    They collaborated on three books: Guide to the Countryside (1984); Field Guide to the Freshwater Life of Britain and NW Europe (1986); and Wild Flowers of Britain and Ireland (2003). [1] In 2002 father and son jointly authored a paper in Science analysing the changing phenology of plant flowering times due to global warming. [4]
